it’s the silence that gets me😭😭
there's something fascinating about how tarantino describes his storytelling process and artistic vision. the way he articulates the deliberate choices he makes and the importance of their effect demonstrates the depth of his understanding as a director and writer. he gets you think about his work, analyze the various possibilities with the freedom to draw your own conclusions, and even seek it out again to view it through a new lens, which is probably the best reception to get from audiences. he said that wanted people to watch his movies and be inspired to make their own and he absolutely nailed it. massive respect
once in a while i think about how stan lee told sebastian stan to remember that bucky is one of the good guys and tear up
Some idiot: "Why are you reading your own fic, that's shallow and stupid"
All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"
some tumblr users: i miss when the fandom was active and the influx of content when the material was trending
creators who are still actively writing fics, drawing art, and posting memes/hcs: um
still don't understand why magneto didn't have long white hair in dark phoenix BUT NOOOO james mcavoy had to be bald
laura knows. she can easily see through their homo no homo foreplay and finds it disgusting because logan denies it vehemently BUT STILL PLAYS INTO IT and althea is like "i live with these motherfuckers how do you think i feel"
The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF
Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid
Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship
Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for
The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining
The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read
It’s THAT simple
“ships should at least make sense.” no. ships can make sense, sure. but they’re just fictional characters we play with for fun. they’re fantasies, not a fucking thesis paper. so no, they don’t always have to make sense. they just have to make you happy (or horny).
let people enjoy (fictional) things however they want to enjoy.
